- Self serving "Features" ?
-
Woow, since when limiting the rights of users is a "feature" to be desired by users?
How can the article say that SilverLight is an alternative to flash, when Silverlight is a windows-only platform? SilverLight, while technically good, is designed to keep the web clients windows-centric.
Now that there are so many devices out there with internet access and different OS/s it is totally mind blowing that companies would develop apps on Silverlight.
Now it's clear that one reason to do this is to control their customers.
Too bad for all the people that will fall for these apps out of ignorance of the alternatives.
So rounding up:
Silverlight's purpose: Keep the users on Windows.
DRM's purpose: Control how, when and where users watch their content.
How are those "features" that benefit the customer? - Posted by: rarsa Posted on: 09/08/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
